The ¥150,000,000 tournament will be renamed as BMW Japan Golf Tour Championship Mori Building Cup.

Isao Aoki, Chairman of the Japan Golf Tour Organization (JGTO) said: "I am really happy to be able to deliver such big news to

everyone ahead of the JGTO’s season-opening tournament."

This tournament, which was incepted in 2000, a year after the formation of JGTO, is the flagship tournament of our organization.

This year marks 19 times in a row of the event which will be staged at the Shishido Hills Country Club West Course in Ibaraki

Prefecture.”
